the dawn of us

i've never slept like this before

i find it funny
how you can knock out
quickly

and i'm up all night thinking

eyes wide open
oceans brimming
the borders

while you rest
soundly

as you lie
limbs swaying
with closed eyes to the sky

it's funny how most days
i can't even get out of
bed

weighed down
by these heavy rocks

as i sit there
in the deepest depths

being scared to be bitten
being scared that
i would be eaten alive

while you are on cloud nine
you are being kissed by the sun

while i am being burned at stake

you are letting yourself
be submerged
into the softest parts of the sand

and i'm still complaining

about it being in my ears

and the days where
only i am talking to the moon

you are missing out
on all these wonderful conversations
about life

and the times
where you are
sleep talking

you are alone in your
very own dreamland

but just like the eclipse
when we are together
embraced in the others arms

there is no better time

than at that moment

because the nights
where i'm wide awake

i am able to close my eyes
and whizz away past
all these clouds

because the days
where you're missing
out on all of my conversations

you are able to
passionately speak

gold running in your blood
as you move in excitement

and when we lay
back stroking through the ocean
we find ourselves
entangled

like we've practiced
this in advance

maybe it was
falling for you
that helped me sleep
this time.
